Stewed Sausages

So this week has been a great week for quick easy meals! Here is number two from the last week after the salmon was made. It was great and super easy to make, the hardest part is really just chopping up the veggies. Here is how it goes:

Ingredients:

4 large Italian Sausages (about 1 lb total)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

3 large bell peppers of any color

1 onion (white or red)

2 jalapeños

Oregano, Parsley, Thyme, Salt and Pepper for seasoning

1 cup dry red wine

1 tablespoon of butter

1/2 bag of Trader Joe's Israeli couscous

1 1/2 cup of chicken broth

3 tablespoons of butter

Start by putting your sausages on a skillet to cook while you chop your veggies. You will just let them go getting nice and charred on all sides.

Also start your couscous, by following the instructions on the bag or putting the chicken broth and butter in a pot to boil.

Once you have your veggies all diced you will soft them in a skillet. To dice the veggies refer to Tammy's picture in a previous post on how to dice an onion. For bell peppers just slice them in half, and remove the inner core. Then slice some long strips of bell pepper length wise, take a handful of bell pepper strips and slice them horizontally in about 1/2 inch intervals. You can just slice the jalapeño horizontally. Add your oil to the skillet and heat, then add your veggies. It will look like this:

Your sausages should look like this when they are done.

Here is your butter and chicken broth.

Your veggies will take about 15 minutes to soften, which is perfect because uncooked sausages take about 15-20 minutes to cook and become stewed. When your veggies are done they will look like this. While your veggies are stewing you should also have a boiling pot of chicken broth. Add your couscous to the pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

Then add your red wine and let it cook for about 2 minutes with the sausages, then add the butter and cook until melted.

Put everything together and eat!

YUM!
